Nevada Humane Society goes through about 120 pounds of dry cat food and 80 cans of wet cat food a day. This Thanksgiving, the Nevada Humane Society is hosting a Cat Food Drive that runs through Sunday. The society is asking for non-perishable and unopened dry and canned cat food. Donations are tax-deductible.

While promoting her upcoming album in New York City, Katy Perry joined boyfriend John Mayer and friends at The Lion on Monday night.
After a busy day – the singer's single "Roar" hit the Internet – Perry caught up with friends at the bar before heading upstairs to a private room for dinner.
"Katy and John were adorable," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "Katy introduced him to people as her boyfriend and John affectionately held her close with his arm around her."
Just as the 15 guests were finishing their entrees, Perry's pal Rihanna arrived.
Sure, celebs can sign a fan's guitar, but how many actually
buy them one?
"I started crying and screaming. I was the luckiest and happiest person alive," aspiring musician Julie Fermin tells PEOPLE of being gifted a guitar from her idol John Mayer.
Fermin, 16, was browsing the selection at Rudy's Music in New York City Friday when Mayer – who had performed on Today that morning – and his girlfriend Katy Perry entered the shop.
"[My friends and I] started freaking out and getting super excited," Fermin says of happening upon two of her "favorite singers."
Katy Perry and John Mayer's on-again, off-again romance appears to be back on.
After recently telling Vogue magazine that she was "still madly in love" with Mayer, Perry was spotted out with the "Paper Doll" singer at New York's Greenwich Hotel on Saturday night and, later, at Monday's Friars Foundation Annual Applause Awards Gala honoring Don Rickles at the Waldorf-Astoria.
At the event, Mayer performed a tune made famous by Frank Sinatra, which captivated Perry.
"When John performed, Katy was enamored by his performance," a source tells PEOPLE. "He sang 'One for My Baby (and One More for the Road).' When they were sitting down, she had her arm around John at one point. They shared kisses."
Everything's fair in love and dining.
Jennifer Aniston and ex-boyfriend John Mayer dined two tables away from each other at West Hollywood's Sunset Tower on Wednesday night.
Aniston – who had visited the hotspot with the musician while they were dating – was joined by fiancé Justin Theroux, Chelsea Handler and André Balazs.

Date night! John Mayer and Katy Perry joined friends for dinner at Katsuya Brentwood on Tuesday.
Sitting in a booth with pals, "the mood was great," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "John and Katy were mellow but very sweet with each other and were really enjoying their friends."
With Perry looking "very cute" in a Herve Leger dress and high heels, the group indulged in baked crab hand rolls, crispy rice, shishito peppers, creamy rock shrimp, albacore with crispy onions and dessert.

Katy Perry and John Mayer are definitely feeling the love.
The pair was described as "super affectionate and loving with one another" while out to dinner at New York eatery The Lion Saturday night, toasting Girls star Allison Williams's boyfriend, CollegeHumor.com founder Ricky Van Veen. The actress hosted a small, intimate bash for her beau, who was celebrating his birthday that night.
Following dinner, the group was treated to a surprise magic act, then spent the rest of the night playing games and savoring desserts before leaving at 2 a.m.
According to an onlooker, Mayer was "very gracious, charming and kind" throughout the evening. – Kristin Boehm
Are Katy Perry and John Mayer wild for each other – or are they just having a good time hanging with wild animals?
The duo attended a weekend bash at Hollywood talent agent Michael Kives's house, where they were greeted by several special guests: animals from a conservation (including an alligator and a kangaroo!).
"They were really cute," an attendee tells PEOPLE. "They were standing near each other most of the night, playing with the animals outside."
When they weren't checking out the nonhuman partygoers, Perry, 27, and Mayer, 34, "definitely enjoyed each other's company."
Check in like a superstar!

The New York Post reports ( http://bit.ly/Vq9z9Y) it happened Sunday at Columbus Circle in Manhattan. A man in his 20s hit his head and stumbled onto the tracks.
The newspaper says the next train was supposed to arrive in two minutes when Garrett O'Hanlon jumped onto the tracks.
Seeing his struggle, Dennis Codrington jumped in, too. So did Matt Foley. The three worked quickly as the train approached.
Riders waiting on the platform helped lift the man. The three men got up just in time.
First responders rushed the unconscious man to a hospital. His condition was unclear.

My skin is usually clear, but I tend to get some nasty blackheads. I find this tool easy to use, more convenient and effective that a strip for a blackhead, and of high quality.
This works best if your pimples/blackheads are ready for popping. If you try to use it too soon, you end up damaging your skin and making things worse.
Either I have some super stubborn blackheads on my nose or this thing is worthless. If used correctly though, this thing can extract a pimple without the unhealthy digging or using your nails in no time at all, it's not just wonderful with the blackheads on my nose ( a bobby pin works better)
Even after looking at video instructions, this doesn't work for me. Maybe my little issues are too small for it to be effective. I keep it around, maybe I'll find another use for it some time.
I thought I had to live with (all) my blackheads and whiteheads until I discovered this tool. I gets the job done and like the description says using my fingers was not a good practice. It's easy to use and doesn't hurt. It's like a get a mini facial pore extraction every time I use it.
I've had better extractors. Neither end seems to be the right size but it will take care of any easy job
It does what it does well, not too much more to say! Hopefully I won't need to but I would buy again.
For all you pickers out there: this is the tool for you!
I've found that the best time to use this is after showering. The steam and heat makes it easier to extract the bad stuff. Triple make sure that the tool is cleaned before and after use. Oh, and it will leave red marks after use so don't use it before you go out.
works well, gets the job done! tweezerman always has amazing products
great for its purpose gets to the root of the problem, the redness goes away quicker than it does if you use your fingers. I just wish it was easier to use around my nose.

I know lots of people that do have twinv and I know that they have no idea how much work it takes. I however hold my head up proudly because I love all my babies and I wanted them so much that I prayed every night till they I saw them on the sono. I was one of the people that so badly wanted twins and had no idea what I was asking for, but I am so glad I did. I love having the twins, watching them together, I could have no greater joy. Even though it is so hard I sometimes want to pull all of my hair out. I will say this much I have had people tell me they had always wanted twins, then the others that say "Oh, I feel so sorry for you" and the others are the ones that piss me off. Dont feel sorry for my my babies needed each other to come into this world and that just means that I am extreamly blessed. So many people that need to just keep mouths shut.

Tennessee Heritage: Story of Gen. John Wilder and his doctor-wife continues
By Earl Hendry
In our Oct. 21 column, we published the first installment of an article by Mr. John F. Lee Jr. of Williamson County on the subject of our own Civil War Gen. John T. Wilder – of Tweetsie Railroad, Roan Mountain, Cranberry Mine and Cloudland Hotel fame. Mr. Lee is a retired architect and his father was raised from the age of twelve by the General and his second wife, John's Great Aunt — Dr. Dora Lee Wilder. Reprinted below is the second part of his long, unpublished, but fascinating article penned about this extraordinary couple and his father's life as a boy with them in Knoxville and in Monterey, where Gen. Wilder established his last hostelry in 1909, the Imperial Hotel. Unlike the General's lavish Cloudland Hotel atop The Roan, the Imperial was built as a commercial hotel close alongside the Tennessee Central Railroad in Monterey, where it still stands today. Here then is the second part of a word portrait on Gen. John T. Wilder and his little-known doctor-wife that none of us has ever seen before.
(Second Part of SEARCHING FOR MY AUNT DORA by John F. Lee Jr.)
"General Wilder at one time was considered an extremely wealthy man, but he had lost a great deal of his money in the Panic of 1893 and never fully recovered. He associated with many of the elite in his time.
My father was given a dollar by General Wilder while the couple was visiting.
My father, being fond of bananas, went to the grocery store and bought a dollar's worth of bananas. When he returned home his mother looked at the amount of bananas and made him take them back. That number of bananas was quite heavy.
Dora and General wilder moved to Knoxvile, Tennessee, where he had resided with his two daughters, Miss Mary and Miss Martha Wilder. With General Wilder's influence, the Medical Department at the University of Tennessee considered allowing Dora to attend. The administration took a vote of the senior class as to whether her presence would be acceptable to them. They voted in the affirmative and volunteered not to make ungentlemanly remarks in anatomy class.
Dora was accepted and took her senior year at the University Tennessee. Graduating in the spring, she was given a license to practice the medical profession.
In the family it was always considered that our Aunt Dora was the first woman to graduate from the Medical Department at the University of Tennessee and the first woman in Tennessee to receive a license. The archives at Tennessee Technical University at Cookeville holds the Dora Lee Wilder Smith Collection which contains her report cards from the University of Indianapolis and the University of Tennessee.
Some of the newspapers in large cities reported about the marriage that old General Wilder had married an under age young girl. Aunt Dora was not bothered by this. She thought it amusing. The age difference was not as extreme as the papers had reported. General Wilder built a house on a small amount of acreage that they named Cherry Hill on the Tennessee River close to downtown Knoxville. This river held many memories for Aunt Dora. It is fed by the joining of the French Broad River and the Holston River a few miles north of Cherry Hill. The French Broad runs
through the land where she was raised in Alexander [NC]. The soil at Cherry Hill was so rich and produced such abundance, that during the summer they would send a cart into Knoxville and sell vegetables.
General Wilder was a very active, energetic, tall, and stout person, always involved in perusing his ideas and bring them to fruition. In time these characteristics did not lend themselves to Aunt Dora's practice of medicine. In an era when the male was dominant, her profession became secondary. She continued to do what she could.
She found that on the western plateau of the Cumberland Mountains, the mountain men often did not want a male doctor physically touching their wives. This gave her an advantage. However, in the case of a birth, she often complained that they waited too long before coming. There would be little that she could do, but she would always try.
My older brother remembers she had an office in the basement of the Imperial Hotel [at Monterey]. My father would tell that she amputated the severely damaged leg of a railroad man who had been in an accident. This took place in the basement of the hotel with several people watching through a basement window.
In 1906 the health of her brother began to fail; he and his family returned to Alexander. For one year he taught in the local school and then died in 1907 leaving a widow and four children. General Wilder and Aunt Dora took the oldest daughter Kate who was 14 to live with them. The mother took the two youngest girls, Dora and Marion and, went to live in Baltimore with her sister; and she placed the twelve year old boy in an orphanage in Asheville. Soon General Wilder and Aunt Dora made arrangements for the son to be also sent to them. The son was my father, John Francis Lee and he was eternally thankful to them.
(This look at the life of Gen. John T. Wilder and his wife, Dr. Dora Lee Wilder, will continue in the next Tennessee Heritage column.)

AUSTIN -- Mardi Gras celebrations in downtown Austin are over, and the Austin Police Department is releasing arrest numbers from the festivities.
The department wrapped up its No Refusal DWI crackdown at 5 a.m. Wednesday. The APD Watch Commander says the DWI Unit reported 14 arrests made during the overnight initiative.
Hundreds came out to celebrate Fat Tuesday on 6th Street. Police barricaded the road to traffic and braced for the crowd. Bar owners have said the extra enforcement helps.
"Nothing good happens after 2 a.m. That's when the most trouble seems to arise," said John Korioth during previous Mardi Gras celebrations.
The arrests of 2013 were a bump compared to 2012 when APD reported 10 arrests during the Fat Tuesday No Refusal initiative.
The program means any suspected drunk driver who refuses a breath or blood test will instead be served with a search warrant for a mandatory blood draw.
According to state law, first time offenders who register with a blood alcohol level of .15 or higher face up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

With 4", you have a few choices. Keep in mind that if there's a door into this area (likely from outside into the mudroom), 4" means redoing the door and maybe the steps leading up to it, if there. There are rules about keeping step heights within certain limits and you'll likely need to rebuild the door rough opening which means tearing out some wall.
If you're willing to do all of that, you could build a grid of 2x3's attached to the floor, then a layer of say 5/8" ply followed by a membrane like Ditra and then tile. Adjust the height of the 2x material to get the height you want. While 5/8" is the absolute minimum ply thickness you'd want to tile onto, if you make your spacing on the 2x material at say 12" or even a bit smaller, it would be plenty stiff enough.
The other way would be to make a mudbed out of what is referred to as deckmud. This is a dry mix of 4-5 parts sand to 1 part of portland cement by volume. WHen I say dry, that means only add enough water to the mix so that when you grab a handful and squeeze, it holds together but doesn't drip. WOrking with this is like packing wet beach sand. You'd want a layer of plastic or tar paper on the floor with lath on it, then pack the stuff level at exactly the height you need. This can get the floor perfectly level at exactly the height you want.
Or, if you're willing to tear out the existing subflooring, you could sister some joists onto the existing ones, but raised to the height you need after installing (I'd use 3/4" T&G here) new subflooring, then your choice of tile prep material, cbu, membrane, etc., then tile. You'd want the sistered joists to be deep enough to have at least half of it overlapped with the existing ones and use some construction adhesive and screws and nails to hold it all together.

Barrow police locate stolen Jaguar
Last updated at 11:25, Monday, 11 February 2013
POLICE are investigating the theft of a Jaguar saloon from outside a house in Barrow over the weekend.
The grey Jaguar X-Type 2005 – valued at about £6,000 - was taken after a set of keys were stolen from a home in Nelson Street, Hindpool, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
It has since been recovered by police in the St George's Square area but investigations into the theft are ongoing.
The brazen offender or offenders gained entry to the house via an unsecured door sometime between midnight and 8am while the occupants slept.
Following the incident, police have urged all residents to ensure they lock their house even when at home.
Anyone with information that could assist officers is asked to contact Barrow police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

J.P. Morgan's consumer businesses added staff in the first quarter while the investment bank lost 292 staff and saw an 11% revenue drop.
Overall, headcount rose half a percent to 261,453 employees at the end of March of this year from the end of December. That figure is up 8% from the year earlier period.
Employment in retail financial services increased 1% to 134,321 from the fourth quarter of 2011, and card services added slightly fewer than 300 people in the first quarter for a total of 27,862. Commercial banking added about 100 people, bringing total staff in that division to 5,612 employees.
On a conference call with analysts, Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said the bank believes "there is value" in the expansion of the branch network, and that they're simply "adjusting the branch build." Last year, J.P. Morgan said it would modify its branch expansion strategy and concentrate on a few key states like California and Florida.
The bank added 33 branches in the first quarter, a 1% increase to 5,541.
The investment bank, which plans to cut 1,000 jobs this year, set aside $2.9 billion in the first quarter to pay employees, down 12% from the year earlier period. On average, employees will take home $112,849 for the first three months of the year, down from $124,330 per person in the first three months of 2011. Nearly 300 people left or were laid off in the investment bank in the first quarter.
In asset management, 200 people left or were dismissed.
Overall, the bank exceeded analysts' earnings estimates. The bank had net earnings of $1.31 a share for the first quarter, up from $1.28 in the year earlier period. Analysts had expected $1.13 a share. Revenue rose six percent to $26.7 billion.

1. Tigers: Forget the concern at closer. They were loaded last year, and they're a lot better with Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter and a full year of Anibal Sanchez.
2. Dodgers: Hanley Ramirez's injury could slow them out of the gate, but they're deep and will get better as the season goes on. A healthy Matt Kemp is as big an addition as Zack Greinke.
3. Blue Jays: Arguably no team is as deep as one with Rajai Davis, Emilio Bonifacio and the gristle guys, Mark DeRosa and Henry Blanco, on the bench.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
4. Angels: It won't be a shock if Albert Pujols win the MVP. He will benefit greatly from having Josh Hamilton around.
5. Nationals: Game 5 against the Cardinals provides all the motivation they will need.
6. Giants: World Series champions overlooked again?
7. Reds: Had Johnny Cueto stayed healthy, they could have won the World Series in 2012. Key to their season is righty Homer Bailey continuing to look like he did down the stretch a year ago.
8. Braves: The Upton brothers' act will be a smash success.
9. Cardinals: Mike Matheny did a great job last year but could be seriously challenged by a lack of pitching depth. Catcher Yadier Molina is the one indispensable part.
10. Orioles: Adam Jones has MVP potential, but the key to this team is its bullpen, with Pedro Strop as valuable as Jim Johnson.
11. Rangers: They're going to miss Michael Young as badly as Josh Hamilton.
12. Rays: Big talent drain since 2012, with B.J. Upton leaving as a free agent and James Shields traded.
13. Phillies: Chase Utley and Domonic Brown had great springs, fueling renewed hope. But Roy Halladay's missing velocity must come around if they're going to contend. Otherwise, Charlie Manuel will walk away at the end of the season, turning the team over to Ryne Sandberg.
14. Athletics: Can all those rookie starters pitch effectively as sophomores? It usually doesn't work that way.
15. Yankees: They've been a mess since the moment Derek Jeter broke his ankle in October. Joe Girardi will be manager of the year if they can rise from the wreckage after spring injuries claimed Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira.
16. Royals: Great spring training for a team that needs a fast start.
17. White Sox: Few major leaguers carry more weight on their shoulders than Tyler Flowers, who is replacing A.J. Pierzynski. It was very risky to let Pierzynski walk.
18. Indians: Everything fell into place over the winter for the management duo of Mark Shapiro and Chris Antonetti, with Terry Francona, Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn there for the taking. Second place is within reach in the Central, especially if Ubaldo Jimenez builds off some strong spring starts.
19. Diamondbacks: Kirk Gibson has his grinders. The one potential difference-maker is first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who is poised for a breakout season.
20. Brewers: Kyle Lohse adds badly needed experience to the rotation behind Yovani Gallardo. He's a nice reward for a group of baseball's best fans, even at the cost of a first-round draft pick.

Seattle >Food & Dining > Volunteer Park Cafe
1501 17th Ave E, Seattle, WA | Directions 9811247.632444 -122.310257
Tue-Sat 5:30am-9pm
Neighborhoods: Stevens, Capitol Hill
Such a sweet spot, in an old grocery store, this joint is jumping, especially on the weekends. Diners feast on goodies that scream comfort food: strata, housemade granola and brioche French toast in the morning, followed by gorgeous salads, sandwiches and soups for lunch. And, oh my, the chicken pot pie. Herbs and assorted produce is sourced by the garden out back. Neat!
Craving time at a community table? Check out the Sunday supper series.
One of my favorite brunch stops in Seattle, nestled on a sweet residential street. Amazing baked goods, Stumptown coffee (PDX represent!), and delish chicken salad. Gets busy, so go early.
Crave this place – I love this place. It is everything a neighborhood joint should be- friendly, local and have exceptional quality. Plus it gives me an excuse to explore the beautiful area. I can take my Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal cookie up to the park and enjoy in the beauty of Capitol Hill.
I have heard dinner is great there too, but I have never been.
Excellent Food! – Some friends and I just had the most amazing impromptu dinner / dessert experience! We all ordered different items off the menu and couldn't have been more pleased. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was to die for! I am not much of a meat eater; this was the best sandwich I have had. It was the perfect amount of food and I didn't feel guilty afterwards. My husband ordered one of their gourmet pizzas's which was served on a cutting board. The presentation was nice and the taste was even better. One of our friend's order the Mini Mac which came out in a hot dish with cheesy / breaded goodness on top of the pasta. Oh wait, I am not done yet...the fresh berry crisp with vanilla ice cream was truly a treat. You must order it if you go. We polished off everything that was served to us. The service seemed fine and the atmosphere was pleasant. Try it out if you want to try something new. It's a little on the pricy side and the menu isn't huge, but you won't be disappointed by the quality.
Exceptionally pleasant atmosphere – My husband and I had dinner here last night- it was gratifying experience. The atmosphere was pleasant and the meal was excellent. I remember when this charming neighborhood dwelling was a grocery store- they still have a "groceries" sign on the wall. I would not classify this place as "cheap eats", however- dinner with drinks and dessert was $70- which is what I would expect to pay at a restaurant of this caliber.
Good Food, Spaced-out Service – I've been to this cafe several times and love the food. The salads are all great and the chicken pot-pie is the best I've had. Also, save room for dessert or a cookie. The counter-help/wait staff is unprofessional - they kind of just stand there, so there is a do-it-yourself element to having a meal here.
How did this get a $ rating instead of $$$? – The food was great. Fresh, edgy, gorgeous. The waitron was enthusiastic but not very well versed in the finer details of slow/fresh/food. Very neighborhood-y in atmosphere but the neighbors are well-heeled. Plan on spending a fair amount (a "canof (4) cosmic carrots costs $6) and main dishes run around $20) as this is not cheap-eats. The prices are fair, I thought, considering the quality and care that went into the selection and preparation. This is good food, folks.
Solid Neighborhood Hangout – This is a great neighborhood addition. The food is very fresh and delicious. We have several suggestions. It would make dining more pleasurable if you were able to install better ventilation so that diners don't leave smelling like food. Counterhelp could be a little speedier. Overall, the food is worth the trip and we would recommend it for an intimate dining experience and fresh lunch.
This sunny, simple and sweet cafe serves an unfussy and thoughtfully executed menu to the Capitol Hill family crowd. – The Scene
Former Carmelita chef Ericka Burke and her food photographer partner Heather Earnhardt have tastefully transformed this 1905 building into a charming neighborhood café. Décor is homey and tailored to the small space, with resin tabletops, wooden benches and plenty of vintage farmhouse touches. The casual servers are friendly, but occasionally overwhelmed and under-informed.
The Food
The menu is split almost evenly between vegetarian and omnivorous options, with an affectionate focus on local, seasonal ingredients. Along with rotating quiche specials, breakfast options include brie and apple panini drizzled with lavender honey, while the broad lunchtime selection ranges from homemade soups and entrée-sized salads to creative, artisan sandwiches. Dinner is less successful, with small plates that can be generously portioned, but underseasoned (a trio of Mediterranean spreads), though the grilled pizzas with seasonal toppings (wild mushrooms, heirloom tomatoes) and cracker-thin crust are a rustic delight.
Just what the neighborhood needs! – Volunteer Park Cafe is the cutest place and perfect for that neighborhood. They have delicious banana bread and a great lunch menu. I'll definitely go there for dinner some time, and I feel good supporting a small local business!
My New Favorite Seattle Cafe – What a great neighborhood cafe! Even though the VPC has only been open a short while, it has the distinct feeling that it has been open for decades. The two lovely ladies who own and operate VPC utilize fresh seasonal and local ingredients for all their dishes. Standout dishes are the carmalized banana brioche french toast for breakfast, seasonal meat pies for a comfy lunch and the best meat loaf in town for dinner. The wine list is outstanding featuring many local and foreign reds. But perhaps the greatest strength of the cafe are the desserts. Items change daily and are made on the premises. This is the kind of place you can wear your pajamas to and feel comfortable. Service is very sincere and caring. Small children and four legged guests are welcome. Also, there is a great bubblegum selection!

0% of the CEO
Robert D. Pryor
I worked at Fujitsu America full-time for more than a year
Pros – Very dedicated workforce. World wide reach. Development centers with real muscle to develop new service offerings. Corporate staff allows each wholly owned subsidiary to operate as it sees best.
Cons – Structured poorly. Senior management does not understand Consulting Operations. Grew through acquisition and never integrated the business. Senior staff looks out for themselves and not the company.
Advice to Senior Management – Get it together and stop cutting off your noses to spite your faces. Laing off workers is not the way to get to profitability in the consulting world. You are only getting rid of your assets.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Mapping Microfiance
Throughout 2011-2012, students from the Microfinance Consulting Club and other interested students gathered on Wednesday evenings over pizza or middle eastern food to explore how mapping technologies might help identify important factors determining Microfinance Institution locations. Under the direction of Shannon Mudd, coordinator of MI3 and Laurie Allen, Digital Scholarship Librarian, the project started with a focus on three countries (Uganda, the Philippines and Mexico) and with the task to compile lists of headquarter and branch locations for all MFI"s in each country. As the lists became more complete, we transitioned to the second task, using geocoding software to determe longitude and latitude coordinates for each location. This step was necessary in order to load the MFI location information into mapping software to create map layers for our analysis. It was time consuming, sometimes tedious work. But the students showed great perseverance and enjoyed the gatherings, the food, and the gradual movement toward making maps and doing the analysis. Many thanks also go to Laurie Allen, her colleagues and interns at the library in helping to set up the procedures and infrastructure for this project. It is through these that we will be able to continue to broaden and deepen our research in this area.
Initial results and additional information about the project are available at http://ds.haverford.edu/wp/mappingmicrofinance/
Collaboration with Agora Partnerships
In the first half of the Spring Semester, nine students were hired with MI3 funds to participate in a project with Agora Partnerships, an impact business accelerator co-founded by a Haverford Alum, Ben Powell. Organized by Dorrit Lowsen, another Haverford Alum, the students analyzed the products, operations and value chains of a set of Central American firms to help them devise potential social impact measurements they could use to verify their success and could incorporate into their management practices. The schedule was tight as these firms were preparing themselves to go before an investors' conference. Working in teams of three, the students studied the firm descriptions, brainstormed about potential impacts, raised questions and engaged in discussions of social impact with the project managers, and drafted reports with assessments and recommendations. It was an intense effort that was successful on a number of fronts. The work was incorporated into briefs provided to investors at Impact Investing in Action conference in Atlanta at the end of May. At that conference, firms from Agora Partnerships and from Village Capital (Atlanta) pitched their ideas and many subsequently entered into negotiations with investors. Dorrit, student Thembi Mdachi and Shannon Mudd presented our assessment of the collaboration at an Impact Metrics conference sponsored by the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs in mid June.
Bankers without Borders Project
For Bankers without Borders (Grameen Foundation), student Yolanda Shao and Shannon Mudd worked with an outside consultant to set up an data entry tool and conducted the statistical analysis of survey data collected to conduct a social impact assessment of a Microfinance Institution in West Bengal, India.

Two Sundays ago, I drove up to the Montrose Pavilion for a matinee performance of "The Nutcracker." This time of year, Tchaikovsky's beloved fairy-tale ballet is nearly ubiquitous, in danger of stumbling into cliché, like the Grinch or Jimmy Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life. I have seen "The Nutcracker" in some form probably 40 or 50 times in my life.
And still I had to go; I needed to go. It would be my first "Nutcracker" and first live ballet since my dancer-sister Polly died two years ago.
The Pavilion was packed, sold out. There were dozens of mothers and daughters there. Some of the mothers looked as if they might have been dancers once, or wanted to be. Many of the little girls were obviously taking ballet lessons themselves. There were plenty of old folks, too, and in-betweens.
We had all come to see the amateur company from the Institute of Dancing Arts in Grand Junction, and to hear a live orchestra composed of the Western Slope Sinfonia augmented by 20 music students from the University of Colorado and Denver University. The music soared and the curtain rose on the opulent, 19th-century living room of the fictional Stahlbaum family, decorated to the hilt for Christmas Eve.
I thought back to the lavish New York City Ballet production which runs for something like 22 days and nights around Christmas every year. I saw almost every show one season when Polly was in the corps de ballet of the greatest company in the world and I was a young college grad checking out life in the Big Apple.
As a member of the corps, Polly danced the Waltz of the Flowers in a line with seven or eight other girls. The big solo parts were reserved for principal dancers. If I remember right, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier were performed by the sumptuous Patricia McBride and the serious, athletic Edward Villela. Polly was not there yet in terms of grown-up presence and polish, but she had lots of time, and I remember thinking that her musicality and her precise, light touch would make her a soloist one day.
The young dancers from Grand Junction made lots of clomping noises on the stage with their hard toe shoes. For the most part they were too young and green to have developed a quiet mastery. But this is not to say they weren't good. They were wonderful. And well trained. They danced their hearts out, and some of them had enough talent perhaps to pursue careers beyond the Western Slope.
One young woman in particular – she was the conductor's daughter – had real potential. She danced the Sugar Plum Fairy (and several other roles; lots of costume changes backstage in a small company). I'd guess she was 15 or 16, about the age Polly was when she left southern California for New York. Like Polly she was lovely, very slender and technically solid. Solid enough to make the fiendishly difficult task of standing on point look almost effortless.
As the music swelled for the grand pas de deux in Act II, tears streamed down my face. The gorgeous music alone could do it. But this afternoon it was the music and the innocence, the inexperience of the young leads that pushed me over the edge.
Tchaikovsky's slow, building Adagio is one of the sexiest, most grown-up in-love dances ever. George Balanchine's choreography for his stars at City Ballet was the standard stuck in my memory. Here the Institute's Diane Revie had contrived simpler steps for her young dancers, but true to the music, the choreography nevertheless mirrored a lot of adult feeling, its solemnity and physical tension.
These were just kids going through the movements, too young to really know the ache and stretch. But they were doing it, the big pas de deux, in front of a full house swept along by some of the most exquisite music ever written.
I was crying because these were the roles Polly dreamed of dancing. She did dance some of them before she left home, when she was a big bird on a little pond, as it were. I remember a star turn in "Swan Lake" when she was still a teenager. But she never got to dance the leads in New York, never danced them with the big company as a grown woman.
In New York, she made it, almost, to the top. She danced for the man she worshipped, the brilliant, dictatorial George Balanchine. But Balanchine never singled her out, never picked her out of the corps de ballet to become a soloist, never chose her to be his muse.
Polly got to dance his choreography, got to dance it to the music of Stravinsky and Ravel and Tchaikovsky. But she was always part of a line of girls and boys, mostly in the background, never in the center in the spotlight. And Balanchine lavished most of his genius on the featured dancers.
In New York, after a few years it all started to come apart, very slowly at first, unnoticed by the rest of us, as Polly began the destructive eating habits that would contribute to her premature death. She had the Sugar Plum Fairy inside her. But she never, by the mysteries of fate and her own demons, got to let her out.

You Said WHAT?
I ran into a high school friend the other day. She and I were two grades apart in school. She was the younger! We had not seen one another for over thirty years. It just so happened that she caught me on a good day. But that, I mean I was dressed pretty decently (no sweat pants and tee shirt) and I had used a curling iron on my hair. After the usual catch-up chit-chat, my friend stopped and starred at me for a few seconds and said, Suzanne, you look pretty good (inflate my ego balloon) for someone who is over six and half decades old (deflate the same balloon). See you later! Take care!" I responded with, "Good to see you as well." Now I am standing there in this parking lot trying to remember what you call THAT. Then I remembered ... It was known as a "backhanded compliment." It starts out well with a little flattering and then it is followed up with BAM ... a cruel punch. I remember another "so called" compliment given to me about ten years ago. A well meaning individual (standing in front of me at a funeral) commented to me after a congregational hymn, "Oh, its you behind me! It sounded like a man! Needless to say, I have never been recruited as a choir member.
When I arrived at my destination of the say, there was a large group of women with whom I was able to share my story. They received a good laugh out of my experience and began to make me feel better by sharing some similar backhanded compliments they had received. Here are a few of their standouts:
1. I don't care what anyone else says, I think you are smart.
2. You are so much nicer than you look.
3. I love that jacket! I didn't know they made that style anymore.
4. (My favorite of the day). You don't seat much for a fat lady!
Until next week…remember…It takes a lot less time to do the right thing than it does to explain why you did the wrong thing.
(Remember also to send me your news to PO Box 924 or email to email@example.com.)

Liz Bentley: I've Only Got Myself To Blame
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2007
Armed with Casio keyboard, ukulele, a wealth of material drawn from her eventful life, Liz Bentley settles herself in for a fifty minute session with her audience.
Bentley is used to being on both sides of the couch. As a trained therapist though, you won't hear any Tittle Tattle about her clients - she has too much material of her own to share, having had therapy herself for seven years as she battled with bulimia, multiple sclerosis and exhibitionist tendencies on Greek nudist beaches. She has dealt with these things admirably and does not want your sympathy.
Original Review:
The lo-fi mood of this gig is set when, following the almost forgotten Eighties hits that form the walk-in music, Bentley slips up to the stage from the back of the room, takes a seat and hits us with some of her poetry.
Its a short verse that concerns a broken coffee table. Bentley looks quite serious as she gazes almost confrontationally out at the crowd. Its disconcerting as she explains that what she does is poetry (because its easy) and that it had to be put in the comedy section as theres no poetry section in the brochure.
Youre pondering that maybe this show was a mistake when she launches into a ditty about how a cyclist ruined her life and cracks her first smile.
Bentleys show proves to be one of the barmiest 60 minutes you could spend at the Fringe. There are more, many more, poems about the mundane residents association meetings, verrucas and breast-feeding set to her amateurish yet charming ukulele and keyboard playing. The show feels raw and the talk, too, is of real experiences - of childbirth and her job as a therapist on the NHS yet its all compulsive listening
Bentley is beguiling. Her delivery is deadpan and acerbic, as the show progresses her unapproachable demeanour at the beginning softens, as if we had to gain her trust, rather than the other way round.
Later on there is surprisingly rich material to be found in the forms you have to fill out just to see a therapist and off-the-wall competition to guess the weight of her dead dog.
Though of course its the reviewers job to express why this was such an exhilarating experience, its difficult to encapsulate. On this occasion, youre just going to have to go and see.

1.1 Scope - This rule implements guidelines in accordance with the West Virginia Governmental Ethics Act.
1.2 Preamble - In 1989, the West Virginia Legislature enacted the West Virginia Governmental Ethics Act, set out in Chapter 6B of the West Virginia State Code, declaring unlawful certain activities by public employees. Section 5(a), Article 2 of the Act prohibits a public employee from using his or her office or the prestige of that office for private gain. Section 5(c), Article 2 prohibits solicitation of gifts that may confer benefits upon the employee. Section 5(d), Article 2 prohibits an interest in the profits or benefits of a public contract which an employee has direct authority to enter into or over which he or she may have control.
The original version of the Ethics Act subjected all public employees, including higher education employees, to fines, sanction, and criminal prosecution for violation of the Ethics Act unless they obtained prior approval for the proposed activity from the West Virginia Ethics Commission. Many of the teaching, research, consulting and publication activities of higher education faculty and staff necessarily result in known and appropriate private benefits or gain which are customary and normal in higher education, but which were identified as potential violations of these provisions of the Ethics Act after its enactment.
In 1990, the Ethics Act was amended at Section 5(1), Article 2 to allow higher education employees who derive private benefits from teaching, research, consulting, or publication activities the option of seeking exemption from the above prohibitions from their employing institution instead of through the Ethics Commission.
Therefore, this rule is adopted to set forth an expeditious procedure for granting such approval of exemptions at the institutional level to faculty and staff members who seek to be relieved of certain statutorily imposed prohibitions of the West Virginia Governmental Ethics Act. Nothing in this rule shall be interpreted as restricting or prohibiting the otherwise lawful institutional or outside activities of faculty or staff consistent with their institutional duties and responsibilities or employment contracts, or as requiring the prior approval of such activities by the institution. Nor shall this rule be interpreted as restricting academic freedom, as defined by this board in Series 36 of the State College System Rules or the constitutional rights of employees to free speech and association. However, this rule shall not be interpreted to require or grant institutional approval or sanction of faculty or staff activities that violate or conflict with their institutional duties or responsibilities, employment contract, federal or state law, the rules of this board, or the ethical standards imposed by the West Virginia Governmental Ethics Act.
1.3 Repeal of Former Rule – Repeals and replaces Series 43 effective August 9, 1992.
1.4 Replaces Title 133, Procedural Rule, Series 43
1.5 Effective Date: March 21, 2002
SECTION 2. APPROVAL of ACTIVITY
2.1 Institutional approval of any activity pursuant to this rule shall be deemed to be a part of the employee's employment contract with the board.
2.2 Any institutional approval granted pursuant to this rule may be revoked upon reasonable notice to the employee.
2.3 Approval for any activity under this rule may only be given by an institution's president or the president's designee or designees. Such delegation of authority by a president shall be in accordance with the needs of the institution but in no case shall such delegation be at an authority level lower than a departmental chair, director or other similar department supervisor.
2.4 Approval for any activity may be granted on a case-by-case basis or, when such activities are common within an institution, a department or other category or grouping of employees, to all of an institution's employees or any subgrouping thereof.
2.5 Each institution shall establish appropriate procedures for the review and approval of those employee activities covered by this rule.
2.6 Disclosures required by this rule are personal in nature and shall be kept confidential, as permitted by law.
SECTION 3. SOLICITATION of GIFTS
3.1 Unless otherwise restricted by one's supervisor, employees shall be permitted to solicit gifts which directly benefit the board or Bluefield State College. Solicitations on behalf of a particular department, on behalf of a supporting foundation or on behalf of an affiliated corporation or center shall, for the purposes of this rule, be deemed to be a solicitation on behalf of or for the benefit of the employing institution.
3.2 Permissible solicitations shall include but not be limited to the following, even though the soliciting employee may work in a position which will be directly or indirectly supported thereby:
3.2.1 Grants from governmental agencies, foundations, corporations, or individuals to the institution to support teaching, research, publication or service activities of the institution;
3.2.2 Contracts with governmental agencies, foundations, corporations, or individuals to the institution to support teaching, research, publication or service activities of the institution;
3.2.3 Donations from foundations, corporations, or individuals to the institution to support teaching, research, publication or service activities of the institution.
3.3 Support for teaching, research, publication and service activities shall include but not be limited to such normal and regular institutional needs as support for salaries; scholarships; capital improvements or repairs; and classroom, laboratory, athletic, medical, scientific and other similar equipment supplies.
SECTION 4. USE of PUBLIC OFFICE for PRIVATE GAIN
4.1 No solicitation or other activity permitted by this rule shall be deemed to be the inappropriate use of an employee's public office (position) or the prestige of that office for one's own private gain or that of another person.
4.2 When an employee uses his or her knowledge and personal prestige for private gain without the use of the employee's public office, then there is no requirement to obtain an exemption under this ethics rule.
4.3 West Virginia Code Chapter 6B, Article 2, Section 5(1) gives institutions of public higher education limited authority to grant exemptions to their employees from the prohibitions in the State Ethics Act relating to the use of public office or the prestige of public office for private gain when the employee is using his or her field of expertise as an author, speaker, consultant or through other approved activities such as service as a board member for outside agencies or businesses. Therefore, when an employee seeks to use his or her public office or the prestige of their public office for the employee's private gain or for the private gain of another person, the employee may seek from an appropriate institutional authority an exemption (as limited by the Ethics Act) from the prohibition against the use of public office or the prestige of public office for private gain.
4.4. The appropriate institutional authority may grant the employee an exemption to permit the employee to use the employee's public office to derive private benefit from the employee's field of expertise as an author, speaker, consultant, or through other approved activities such as service on the board of an outside agency or business.
4.5 In granting permission for an employee to engage in such outside activities which may be directly or indirectly associated with the employee's position with the institution, consideration should be given to the following:
4.5.1 Whether the employee brings to his/her position his/her own unique personal prestige which is based upon his/her own intelligence, education, experience, skills and abilities, or other personal gifts or traits.
4.5.2 Whether such activity is customary and usual within the field;
4.5.3 Whether the institution derives any benefit through prestige or otherwise from the activity;
4.5.4 Whether the institution expects or anticipates that the employee will gain financially from the activities which are not a part of the employee's required employment activities;
4.5.5 Whether the employee's activity will increase his/her personal or professional development or will lend service or benefit to the nation, state or community;
4.5.6 Whether the outside activity will interfere with or create an overriding conflict with the employee's responsibility to the institution or will interfere with the satisfactory performance of the employee's institutional duties.
4.6 The disclosure by an employee of an employee's position, title, and work history with the State College System of West Virginia in the promotion of an employee's private activities shall be exempt from the prohibition against the use of prestige of public office for a private gain. However, in these cases the employee has the responsibility to make clear the fact that he or she is not representing Bluefield State College but is speaking as a private citizen.
4.7 An employee who obtains an exemption from the Ethics Act prohibitions under the procedure authorized in this rule shall not be deemed an agent of the Bluefield State College when the employee is acting outside the scope of his or her other employment for his or her private benefit.
4.8 No exemption granted under this ethics rule shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the institution of any lawful contractual provision in the employment contract of a full or part-time employee.
SECTION 5. INTERESTS in PUBLIC CONTRACTS
5.1 Each employee shall be required to disclose any interest the employee or any member of the employee's immediate family may have in the profits or benefits of a contract which the employee may have direct authority to enter into or over which the employee may have control unless such interest is limited within the meaning of West Virginia Code 6B-2-5(d)(2).
5.2 An institution may review any interest an employee or any member of the employee's family may have and determine what, if any, restrictions or limitation should be placed on the employee's activities.
5.3 Without limitation, the following represent examples of interests in public contracts which may be permitted:
5.3.1 The employee is the author and copyright owner of a leading textbook in the employee's teaching field and may wish to require the use of the textbook by his/her students;
5.3.2 The employee is the inventor and patent owner of a scientific tool necessary for research in the employee's field;
5.3.3 The employee is an expert in the region in a particular field and such consulting expertise is being sought by the institution or another governmental agency and the providing of such consulting services is not a part of the employee's duties to the institution.
6.1 Unless otherwise prohibited by the, Bluefield State College Board of Governors, no activity permitted under the West Virginia Ethics Act shall be deemed to be a violation of this rule.
6.2 Unless otherwise prohibited or restricted by the Bluefield State College Board of Governors, no activity approved, permitted or exempted by the West Virginia Ethics Commission shall be deemed to be a violation of this rule.
7.1 The Bluefield State College Board of Governors shall have the authority to review and grant approval of those activities of presidents which may involve a conflict of interest pursuant to this rule.

"I know she worked every summer and during every break while everyone else was enjoying their time off," Saks coach Michelle Lively said. "She's a three-sport athlete and could probably play any sport, but she never lost sight of what she wanted to do, and that was pitching. She pitched during basketball season, she pitched during softball season, she pitched during the summer, she pitches in the rain.
"That's what makes her stand apart from everyone right now."
West, who signed a softball scholarship with Jacksonville State last fall, earned 33 wins for Saks this past season and led the Lady Wildcats to their fifth consecutive Class 3A state tournament. In addition to her pitching, she batted .358 with 46 RBIs, 30 runs and 11 home runs when she wasn't on the mound. But the statistic that raised eyebrows around the state was her 610 strikeouts on the season.
"Last year I had over 500 and I planned on reaching over that this year," West said. "I was looking at stats for the year and I thought by the end of the year I could reach something like that."
The total was 47 short of the state record and is fourth all-time.
However, West wasn't the only dominating pitcher in the area to be recognized.
Cherokee County's Tori Davis was not only named the Class 4A Pitcher of the Year and Player of the Year, but was also named to the Super All-State team.
Davis made all-state in 2012 for the first time and was also named the player of the year. This past season she continued her success in the circle, winning 40 games with a 0.47 ERA and 447 strikeouts.
"What really worked for me was having my teammates behind me," Davis said. "They did a wonderful job the entire season and we couldn't have had the season we had without them. I just had confidence in my teammates and knew I could do it with them behind me."
Davis also hit .379 on the year, despite focusing on pitching more than hitting. She hit seven home runs and recorded 38 runs and a team-high 54 RBIs, helping the Warriors reach the Class 4A state tournament for the fifth consecutive season.
"We had fun together and that's really what you remember," Davis said. "Sure we didn't make it as far as we wanted to, but the season we had before the end of it was great. We came together and tried our best."
Davis is one of 10 finalists for Miss Softball, which will be announced at the ASWA banquet Sunday at Jacksonville State University.
Davis was joined by teammate Madison Millsaps, who made the Class 4A team, after leading Cherokee County in most offensive categories.
The junior hit .513 with 79 hits — including 27 doubles and seven home runs — on the year, and she also drove in 54 runs. Millsaps had a .569 on-base percentage.
In Class 1A, Heather Smart of Spring Garden made the All-State team, as well. Smart led the Lady Panthers with a .544 batting average and recorded 25 runs and 13 RBIs. The senior also stole 14 bases.

Before beginning this review, we must clarify that the definition for the small, medium and large phones has changed since the launch of the Galaxy Note. Those that were considered large are now medium.
We received an Overboard Waterproof case, courtesy of MobileFun iPad Accessories. Let us begin.
The case comes nicely packed and looks nice and shiny in the first go. Though Overboard has mentioned the case to be for small phones, We deem a device like the N8 not to fit the category. Rather, we term it as a medium sized device.
Upon opening, the contents of the package include the case, a hook, a lanyard. And No, the phone does not come inside the package
The case is made up of waterproof material that feels soft yet strong. We had to open these locks to get a look inside the case.
The phone can be slid through once the locks are open. These locks act a sealing barrier once the phone is inside.
Once securely locked, nothing can enter or exit the case save light
The case did not prove to be any hindrance while operating the phone. The phone responded as snappily as it did outside the case.
Overboard have made sure that the phone's camera is not missed out. While the front has a larger transparent are to operate the phone to it's fullest, the rear of the case makes sure that the camera is not covered.
A sample of the camera functioning inside the case
You can use the hook and and the lanyard to secure the phone while you are on the move.
In my opinion, the case is one of the best in it's class. It can keep you phone safe from water damage. We definitely recommend this case if you device is small to medium in size. But if you have a Galaxy Note, then this case is not a choice as the Note would not fit in.
